Will a 1" x 1" Photo Suffice for Carte Orange

I intend to bring some photos so my wife and I can buy Carte Orange passes for the Metro.

Will a 1%26quot; x 1%26quot; head and shoulder photo suffice? Anyone know the specific requirements.

Thank you

That%26#39;s fine. My husband and I snapped a couple headshots and printed them out on our home printer, 1%26quot; x 1%26quot; is fine. Fits perfectly!

Is it necessary to print the 1%26quot; x 1%26quot; photos on photo paper, or will a color print out on regular paper suffice?

|||

All you need to do is take a photocopy of your passport and snip out the photo. I did it in February.

|||

As pixfield suggests it does not even have to be in colour just so long as it is recognizably a pic of you and not Fido or Spot or whomever...

The space available on the photo-ID portion of the CARTE ORANGE pass will allow for ANY %26#39;..head-shot..%26#39; photo from approx 1%26quot;-to-1 1/4%26quot; x 1-to-1 1/4%26quot;. The photo may be of ANY sort--from professional %26#39;..glamour shot..%26#39; to a b%26amp;w photocopy of the photo on your drivers license or employee ID--on almost any type of paper (if you can get your home ink-jet printer to accept Scott%26#39;s toilet tissue and the ink doesn%26#39;t bleed to much to blur the image...that%26#39;d work too)

where can you buy a Carte Orange? we will be staying in Montmartre area.

If you are taking the RER/métro from CDG I think that the ticket window at CDG is the best place. The people there are used to dealing with visitors.

Otherwise in theory you can buy a CO at any métro or RER station. If you have a problem at one station just go to the next one. I think the more touristy places are likely to be less problematic than the smaller stations but you *should* be OK anywhere.

Good luck!
